Keeping Client Trust

ADP

Balancing Budget and Schedule

This call center’s design specified a unique conduit running the power supply. The system would require an expensive thickness in the slab, so we proposed less expensive alternatives. To give the owner adequate time in assessing all the options, we altered the schedule and erected the tilt wall panels and steel before pouring the slab. In the end the owner switched the design to conventional rigid conduit and saved over $700,000 with no impact on the schedule.
